The pasta was swimming in oil and the pizza crust was limp. The staff were disinterested. The drinks were good, but how much effort does it take to pour wine? With so many good options in Vancouver, I see no need to return.

Loud disturbing music, and a television with sports in the main dining area. The days of quiet an intimate meal in a neighborhood restaurant seems to be disappearing. The service was as well slow, although there was plenty of visible staff for a Friday night, the restaurant was clearly not busy, with staff clearly to busying engaged with each other rather than taking care of patrons. Although the food was good, it was slightly overcooked and burnt in sections.

Not the best I have ever ate, but pretty good if you have a craving for pizza.

After 15 minutes we called someone over. Now the restaurant wasn't busy. A server took our order. Next incident was one of our chairs broke. Seat fell through . We changed the chair. Told the server' she said a uncaring sorry. Didn't ask if our friend was ok after hitting the floor. Now after all this we were giving the bartender has our new server. Rachel. She was lovely. Happy and fun. The food is good. Pasta and a large meat pizza. Now I also work has a server. So know things can and do happen. So after reading this . Do try the restaurant. I'm hoping our initial first impression was not correct.
